Buckeye Democrats.

CLEVELAND, o., July 2l.-The Demo
cratic State Convention was called to
order at IL o'clock this morning, in
Music Hall, by Henry Bohl, chairman
of the State executive committee.
About 5000 spectators, many of them
ladies, we're present. Senator Henry B.
Payne entered the hall just before the
convention opened, and was loudly
cheered. There was no temporary or
ganization, and Hon. George e. Seney,
of Tlftin, at once took his place as per
manent chairman. In his speech,
Seney said there were no quar-
rels in the Democratic party.
Every Democrat seemed to know
who would be his candidate in
1885, and all we're satisfied. (Applause.
He eulogized ex-senator Thurman,
saying that he would have honored the
office of governor. After speaking of
various candidates tor governor, he
said all was not harmony in the Re
publican party. Every tomahawk and
scalping knife, he declared, was sharp
ened for a fight at Toledo next week.
His reference to the Presidential con-
test between Blame and Sherman was
applauded. Referring to Cleveland's
administration, lac said that so we'll had
its power been used that now it had
little, if any, opposition except from
those who expect to ask favors
from the Republican party. About
the civil service reform, he said:
while all Democrats give the ad-
ministrstion hearty support, there are
mary who would feel better satisfied if
all Republicans remaining in Office were
promptly turned out, and their places
alled with Democrats. 1t is to this
feature of the situation that the re-
solves of this convention ought not to
be uncertain in meaning or sound. II
we believe that Democrats instead of
Republicans should assist the Demo-
cratic president in administering gov
eminent, let US have the courage of our
convictions and here now so declare; if
it be the civil service law that keep Re
publicans in and Democrats out of the
public service, let US strike boldly and
high and demand of our party repre-
sentstiYesat Washington, in the Senate
and House, to labor and vote for the
Immediate and unconditional repeal of
the law"

Democratic party of Ohio, in conven-
ton assembled, proclaims its hearty
and unqualified endorsement of the
honest, patriotic and economical ad-
ministration of President Cleveland,
We demand such judicious reduction
of the present burdensome tariff as
shall result in producing revenue suf-
fcient only to meet the expenses of an
economical administration of govern
meDt, the payment of liberal pensions
to Union soldiers and sailors, and the
payment of interest and principal of
the public debt, and, if necessary, we
favor such reduction of in
ternal revenue, except of liquors,
as will prevent the accumulation
of a surplus in the national treasury,
and we denounce any attempt to
abolish the tax on liquors for the pur-
pose of keeping up the present unjust,
unequal and onerous tariff. The plat

punishment of persons melting to riot

publican State government, demand
